Unless of course he is on the spectrum, in which case I forgive his lack of social skills. He seemed less than thrilled to have two middle-aged American women in the pub tonight. No worries, we struck up a conversation with a local, Luiga(sp?). It's a cool place. And I suppose if it were a weekend, it would be great. But tonight, well it was unfriendly and not very welcoming. Too bad because most of the rest of Ireland has been pretty nice.

The staff also mistakenly thought we ordered 2 orders of the wings, but gladly took it back (and off our bill) when we cleared up the mishap. Didn't get to try their "famous" burgers, but looking around the restaurant, the burgers looked very good too.

The place was still hopping when we left at 10 pm.

The stew was superb,it had plenty of lamb and nicely cut pieces of potato and root vegetables. This was the best stew by far after having stew twice while in Dublin. The fish was good but not the best I've had and the chips were a little lukewarm. Once at the bar we enjoyed some drinks and stayed for the live music until closing. Also, Michael gave us some great recommendations for places to go in Cork. Glad we found this pub and I'd recommend it to travelers.

I've been on sabbatical…read morein West Cork for a couple of month, and have visited most of the local pubs in Bantry, Durrus, Ahakista, and Ballydehob (as well as several other villages further out). Rosie's is definitely the place to go for live music on the weekends! The bar is a traditional Irish bar in the front, and a music venue in the back room. There's also a cool beer garden out the back door. It's definitely cozy, but that adds to its charm. The staff is super friendly. I've seen the local cover band Loose Change a couple times, and they are excellent. If you are in the area, and want a taste of true Irish craic, visit this place on a Friday or Saturday night when there's live music on! You won't regret it.

Nice place overall.

When my friend and I were…read moreseeking out a pub, I was hoping to go somewhere that was lively but not overwhelming and had a nice, mixed crowd. This place checked all of those boxes! Since it was my birthday, I knew I wanted to get at least a beer - my friend and I ended up staying for four drinks heh. One of them was a Sex on the Beach since it was advertised as a special drink of the night. It was good! Not too stiff, not too sweet. Overall, the pub had a cozy, laid back vibe that was the perfect spot to chit chat and enjoy a drink. It seemed small on the outside but was actually quite roomy with a small patio in the back. If you want to give this place a try definitely do so!!

My burger lacked flavor though and was a little tough which was disappointing. They did say that the burgers cook on their own trays so hopefully cross contamination is mitigated. The Eton Mess was phenomenal though and redeemed the meal. Service was fine, they were very busy with the rugby game so the delay in things made sense. Ambiance was great with a table next to the roaring fire.
